Raglan mine's 120-foot high, thee megawatt wind turbine turns outside the company's Nunavik mine site Dec. 1. One year after the turbine was first installed, Raglan says the mine site has saved 2.1 million litres of diesel and more than 6,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. This year, crews also installed an energy storage system at the site of the turbine to maximize wind power. (PHOTO BY SARAH ROGERS)
